I have had my Saleen referred to as an "American Ricer" in some way or another.

Yes--my Saleen has been associated with the import tuning industry. 5 vote(s) 22.7%
Nope--never happened. 17 vote(s) 77.3%

    Exactly.


    The next time someone gives you a hard time, or calls your car an "American Ricer" just point out that your blower has more displacement than their motor!:lol:

    Very nice car, what size rear tires are on that? They are BFG drag radials right?

    What size were the Nittos, they look bigger than 295/35/18. Were they 305 or 315??

    Thanks,

    Yes please post pics with the bullits. Why did you do that?

    It was getting dark out so the pics kind of suck. They actually look a lot better in person.

    I think its safe to say that we all plead the fifth on the grounds we might incriminate ourselves.......:rolleyes:

    With that being said, its your car! If that's the look you want and you like it, that is all that really matters! Who really gives a *hit about other peoples opinions?? It sounds kinda selfish, but I've learned over time do what ever makes you happy first and foremost......:nice:

    I agree with Robert. Do what you want and tell everyone else that doesn't like it to go buy their own Saleen.

    As that upstanding citizen Bobby Brown once said..... "It's My Prerogative":D

    I wish they made deep dish Saleen wheels. If/when they make them that's what I'm putting on there next :cool: The bullitts just don't quite has that same sharp look as the Saleens but my Saleen wheels the chrome peeled all to hell an wouldn't even keep a tight seal for air in the tires anymore :rolleyes: I wanted to try the deep dish look but still prefer the straight 5 star look as opposed to the tappered 5 star like the bullitts.

    I wrote a letter to Saleen & to OE Wheels to create Saleen wheels in deep dish format. Anyone else want to join in and send a letter too? :SNSign:
